Specification Quality Checklist: Documentation Sprint: Agent Management and Cleanup

Purpose: Validate specification completeness and quality before proceeding to planning Created: 2026-01-23 Feature: spec.md

Content Quality

  • ✅ No implementation details (languages, frameworks, APIs) ✅ Spec mentions source files for validation context only
  • ✅ Focused on user value and business needs ✅ All user stories explain value and priority
  • ✅ Written for non-technical stakeholders ✅ Plain language, minimal jargon
  • ✅ All mandatory sections completed ✅ User Scenarios, Requirements, Success Criteria present

Requirement Completeness

  • ✅ No [NEEDS CLARIFICATION] markers remain ✅ Zero markers found
  • ✅ Requirements are testable and unambiguous ✅ All 19 FRs use MUST with observable outcomes
  • ✅ Success criteria are measurable ✅ All 6 SCs have specific metrics (90%, zero, 100%, etc.)
  • ✅ Success criteria are technology-agnostic (no implementation details) ✅ Validation methods mentioned but don't prescribe implementation
  • ✅ All acceptance scenarios are defined ✅ Given/When/Then for all 5 user stories
  • ✅ Edge cases are identified ✅ 5 edge cases documented
  • ✅ Scope is clearly bounded ✅ Out of Scope section defines 6 exclusions
  • ✅ Dependencies and assumptions identified ✅ 5 assumptions, 4 dependencies documented

Feature Readiness

  • ✅ All functional requirements have clear acceptance criteria ✅ User story acceptance scenarios map to FRs
  • ✅ User scenarios cover primary flows ✅ 5 user stories prioritized P1-P3
  • ✅ Feature meets measurable outcomes defined in Success Criteria ✅ All SCs are measurable and achievable
  • ✅ No implementation details leak into specification ✅ Spec describes WHAT to document, not HOW to implement

Validation Summary

Status: ✅ PASSED - All checklist items complete

Key Strengths:

  • Clear prioritization (P1: core workflows, P2: automation, P3: edge cases)
  • Comprehensive coverage (19 functional requirements across 4 categories)
  • Measurable success criteria with specific metrics
  • Well-defined scope boundaries (6 out-of-scope items prevent scope creep)

Ready for: /spec-kitty.plan

Notes

All validation items passed on first review. Specification is complete and ready for planning phase.
